General description
6,6-Dimethylfulvene [5-(1-methylethylidene)-1,3-cyclopentadiene] is a nonaromatic carbocyclic analog of isopropylbenzene. 6,6-Dimethylfulvene reacts with 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,1-dicyanoethylene (BTF; 1) to afford the expected Diels-Alder cycloadduct, 7-(1-methylethylidene)-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,2-dicarbonitrile. Metal-free hydrogenation of 6,6-dimethylfulvene via frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) mediated triple domino reaction has been reported.The biotransformation of 6,6-dimethylfulvene by Pseudomonas putida RE213 has been studied.Cycloaddition of 6,6-dimethylfulvene with benzynes has been reported.
6,6-Dimethylfulvene undergoes nucleophilic reaction with lithium dichloromethide in the presence of THF at -75°C, selectively at its exocyclic double bond.
Application
6,6-Dimethylfulvene may be employed in the following studies:
- One-pot synthesis of ansa-metallocenes.
- Synthesis of endo and exo-adducts with maleic anhydride.
- Synthesis of fulvenols or the corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers.

The frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) mediated hydrosilylation of pentafulvenes is described yielding allyl silanes with high regioselectivity in excellent yields. While phenyl substituted allyl silanes undergo B(C6F5)3-mediated rearrangement to vinyl silanes, dimethyl derivatives experience FLP-catalyzed hydrogenation followed by an unprecedented

The biotransformation of 6,6-dimethylfulvene [5-(1-methylethylidene)-1,3-cyclopentadiene], a nonaromatic C(inf5) carbocyclic analog of isopropylbenzene, was examined by using Pseudomonas putida RE213, a Tn5-generated dihydrodiol-accumulating mutant of the isopropylbenzene-degrading strain P. putida RE204. 6,6-Dimethylfulvene was converted to a single chiral product identified as
